Embracing the Power of Crystals: A Guide to Wearing Crystals for Holistic Healing

Crystals have been used for centuries in various cultures for their healing properties and spiritual benefits. They have not only been cherished for their beauty but also for their ability to promote balance and well-being. This blog post will explore how to use crystals, the significance of wearing them as bracelets or necklaces, and provide a brief overview of different types of crystals.

Wearing Crystals: The Meaning Behind Crystal Jewelry

When it comes to wearing crystals, the method you choose can enhance their energy and connection to your journey. Bracelets and necklaces are popular choices as they allow you to keep the crystals close to your body. Wearing them serves as a constant reminder of your intentions and can help you stay guided throughout the day. The placement of the crystal on your body can influence its effects for example If you wear a rose quartz crystal near your heart (for example in the form of a necklace) it can amplify the crystal’s healing properties related to love and compassion. You may also wear a lapis lazuli necklace to enhance communication and self-expression near your throat chakra.

In spiritual practices, the arm on which you wear a crystal bracelet is believed to influence its energetic effects. 

Left Arm: The "receiving" side as it is thought to enhance your ability to receive energy, intuition, and healing. It is believed that this arm helps absorb the properties of the crystal for personal growth, emotional healing, and spiritual insight. 

Right Arm: The "giving" side as it is associated with projecting energy outward. It is believed to amplify your intention, boost confidence, and manifest goals. It is often used to channel and share the energies of the crystal with others and to support actions for external achievements. 

Choosing which arm to wear your crystal bracelet on can be guided by your intention and the type of energy you wish to either attract ( receive) or project (give).
